The Tang Dynasty was founded only 20 years ago, but now it can be said that the country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment.
In the square of Qiongzhou Naval Base, Li Jing took the microphone and said.
His voice carried through the loudspeakers throughout the base.
"At this time, I was originally in our respective military camps with everyone, instead of appearing on an island thousands of miles away."
"Everyone trains together. When we are tired, we eat and sleep together with our colleagues, or play cards secretly."
When Li Jing said this, the soldiers below all laughed.
Li Jing also laughed, and then said with a straight face:
"But a few months ago, a powerful enemy appeared on the land of Tianzhu and massacred thousands of unarmed businessmen in our Tang Dynasty."
"It is said that they They defeated countless powerful empires in the west. This time, the army that entered Tianzhu alone exceeded 400,000."
"Facing such a powerful enemy, many of us may never be able to return to Datang this time. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" All the Tang soldiers shouted, holding their weapons high.
“What is our answer to what they did?”
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Okay, then let's kill them together and leave no one behind!"
Li Jing waved his hand: "Now all soldiers, board the ship and set off!"
At the Qiongzhou Naval Base, a total of 150,000 elites from all over the Tang Dynasty began to board the warships.
They would land at seven landing points along the Tianzhu coast in a few days, and then attack the seven coastal cities occupied by the Arab Empire.
Among them, the five armies will start attacking the five eastern ports of Tammoliti, Gongyutuo, Jilingga, Wutu and Jianzhibula City.
It gave the Arab army the feeling that the Tang Dynasty would launch an attack from the east.
Then two more armies will go around the west coast and land at Mansur, and then begin to capture the city of Viramala and the three cities of Madara and Satta Nishivara to complete the blockade of the retreat route of the Arab army.
In this way, the Arab army will retreat to the Arab Empire. If they cannot break through these three cities, they will have to evacuate from the Thar Desert in the middle.
On land, the Tang Dynasty still had 200,000 troops who borrowed the road from Nanzhao and began to attack Qunü City, Wangshe City and La in northern Tianzhu.
Tancheng et al.
This 200,000-strong army only has 50,000 Tang Dynasty elites, and the other 150,000 are allied forces sent by various satellite countries.
Datang had agreed before sending troops that after the northern cities of Tianzhu were captured, some of them could be divided into overseas colonies for these countries, and they would be allowed to send people to manage them.
Therefore, all the subordinate countries that originally planned to form some miscellaneous troops also arranged their own elites.
Following the Tang Dynasty, they also learned wisely. Such overseas colonies were of great help to the development of trade routes.
The troops that landed on seven coasts and one on land were jokingly called the Eighth Route Army attacking Tianzhu by Tang Ping.
The advantage of the Tang Army now is that the Arab Empire has occupied the entire Tianzhu, but it has not completed its rule over Tianzhu.
Raja Sri and the past liberation fighters of the South have been active everywhere.
This resulted in the Arab Empire having to have a certain amount of troops in each city for management.
Therefore, even though they knew that Tang Dynasty scouts were frequently active in Tianzhu and were probably going to attack, they still had no way to concentrate all their forces in the border cities.
"Ping Guo Gong, be careful when you go here!"
Outside Jianzhibuluo City, Tang Ping and Li Jing waved goodbye.
The two had known each other since they arrived in Datang in Tang Ping, but Li Jing was too low-key, and the two had always seemed to have a friendship between gentlemen.
At this time, Tang Ping couldn't help but sigh: "General Li, you too, pay attention to your safety, and come to the store to drink after you return to Chang'an!"
Tang Ping will follow the remaining fleet to Viramala City to complete the blockade of the Arab Empire army.
It can be said that Tang Ping sent troops this time with calculated intentions and unintentional intentions. With the support of local forces such as Raja Sri, countless drills, and a military god like Li Jing as the coach, Tang Ping was not very worried about the outcome of the war.
After bypassing the Indian peninsula and arriving at the west coast of Tianzhu, they drove north for another five days and crossed Jijirat. Tang Ping and the others finally landed outside Viramaluo City, an important town in the northwest of Tianzhu.
"Duke Fan and Ping, this is the latest information from Viramala City."
A scout brought up the information. Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Fan, came with Tang Ping.
After receiving the information and looking at it, I found that the number of troops in Viramala City was not that large, only five thousand people.
However, because this is an important town in northwest Tianzhu, there was a relatively tall city wall in the past, which was captured by the Arabs.
Later, it was renovated again.
Now these five thousand people have closed the city gates on all sides, unable to get out.
There are still more than 30,000 residents in the city, and there is sufficient food and grass. If Tang Ping and others attack by force and have artillery and other weapons of war, they can indeed attack it.
But this will inevitably damage the city wall. After the city is captured, it must be defended to prevent the Arab army from returning home. If it is in tatters, how will it be defended then?
In addition, the food and grass in the city are also very important to Tang Ping and the others. For the same reason, food and grass are very important to defend the city.
"Ping Guo Gong, do you have a clever plan to break the city by surprise?" Duan Zhixuan thought for a while and asked Tang Ping after reading it.
Tang Ping thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Fan Guogong already has an idea?"
Taking turns leading troops in battles, he is naturally no match for these famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but he just has a more open mind.
Duan Zhixuan smiled and said, "I don't have any ideas. I just saw the things on Ping Guo's ship and had some ideas."
Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, these old guys are all human beings.
I did bring something on board, that is, when I left Tianzhu, didn't I kill some slave troops from the Arab Empire and then piled their heads into Jingguan?
The uniforms and weapons of the slave army were brought back by Tang Ping.
Then when he was in the Pagan mining area, he met Jafar's army who was pursuing them. Tang Ping also secretly took a lot of photos.
After returning to Chang'an, he asked the clothing workshop and ironware workshop of Tang's Trading Company to make a large number of imitations.
At first, he originally planned to give Li Jing some points, but because there was a lack of people in the army who could speak Arabic, he had to give up.
You can't just wear the opponent's military uniform and pretend to be dumb, right? Then it was immediately obvious that it was fake?
I just didn't expect that when I got off the ship, there was a box of armor that was accidentally knocked over and Duan Zhixuan saw it, and he guessed what Tang Ping was thinking.
"Fan Guogong is right. I really want our soldiers to pretend to be defeated troops escaping from Malava City, and then trick them into leaving Viramala City."
Duan Zhixuan saw Tang Ping's admission and said, "It's just that these soldiers guarding Viramala City are also the elite of the Arab Empire. I'm afraid they are not easy to deceive."
"Yes!" Tang Ping nodded: "So it's time to test your acting skills."
